Entering Motherhood

Uncategorized 20th of May 2016

I photographed a group of women before and after having their first child, as a way of reflecting on what becoming a mother means. I was struck by how much more confident the women appear after their child has arrived.

Eu Migrants Portraits

Uncategorized 16th of June 2016

During the campaign before the UK’s referendum on EU membership in 2016 there was little emphasis on the positive aspects of migration. I made this series of portraits of people, who would most likely not have been able to come to this country if we had, as was much touted, an “Australian-style” points system. I wanted to show respect for the hard work of all types of migrants in our society, not just those who already have a profession or a degree when they come here.

EU migrant gratitude

Uncategorized 6th of July 2016

Following the EU referendum in the UK, I am making a series of portraits that illustrate the gratitude that many British people feel towards EU migrants who have made their home here.
